got car dropped off couple of weeks ago but didnt start it till week ago!
was crack in bumpers and paint flaking on them, loads of rust coming through on rear 3/4s
so day 1 was spend cutting rust out and welding new metal in
day 2 i put coat of fibreglass just to get everything smooth, 2 skims of filler and all was well
day 3 it was all maked up and primed
day 4 i rubbed car down and painted everything black then laquered
day 5 buffed car and put it all back together!
this was all done inbetween doing full time job with 8-12 hours a day there, lol








next jobs:-
corsa c having kit fitted
vx220 turbo having re spray

i do enjoy doing it, sometimes gets a little stressful on top of the pub, will cut down over summer when pub is busy!
not sure i can imagine enjoying it if i was doing it full time day in day out!
